Re: von Grafenreuth

Hi Mike,

1/ I have Ulrich Fhr.von Gravenreuth b. 4-9-04, KIA over England 27-9-1940 with rank Oblt.
2/ Siegmund-Ulrich Fhr. von Gravenreuth b 4-9-04 promoted to Ltn 1-4-36 flew as a bomber pilot a Kom.of KG30 killed on a fighter conversion course 16-10-44 with rank Oberstltn.
The Refs. I have for both men (brothers?) spell their names with a 'v' not an 'f'. It would seem Siegmund would be a better possibility for owning the coat or it could have been passed to him on the death of Ulrich if related, unless of course the Grafenreuth is correct and its a different person altogether,

Regards

Brian Bines
